I'm trying to perform a search on the board, but it sends me to a blank page under the url http://www.giantitp.com/forums/search.php?do=process. This happens with more than one search terms. The 30 sec timeout between searches is still in effect though. Is it just me?

No, it's not just you, and I look forward to it getting fixed.

That is annoying enough that I think I’ll just bite the bullet, get it out of the way, and say it myself: “Just use Google!”

There we go! It’s over, with minimal pain.

While using Google does have its advantages, the site search offers more filtering options by way of time frame, posts by user, and searching specific forums, and so forth. So I really don’t think Google is a useful catch-all for every single search scenario.

All that said, site-Search is working okay for me.

I could also do a search for a little while in the afternoon. Now it gives me an Internal Server Error though.

I don't even get an error, just a blank white page each time I try it. When I try a second time, it will still give me the "You must wait 30 seconds between searches..." message.
